To the 'sPersOnal Explanations, of Sen.
asor Bryan, of Duplin.
Especial Cor STATE CHEoNICLE1
deeply regret that an article in your
paper of tho 3rd inst, prepared. | suppose,
by Mr.. J. A. Bryan, Senator from Duplin
county, is 80 full Of misrepresentations
that Justice to tho Asylum reqa res "a no.
tlce from me. Not on account Of the in
divldual mentioned but because oi the off,
clal position he occupies and he Senatorial
privilege he prostitutes In the DISCUSSION
in the Senate, Mr.. Bryan opposed the
small appropriation for enlarging the In
sane Asylum at Raleigh and made a num-
Der OF incorrect statements OF the compar-
atlve cost and annual eXpen~cS Of this In
stltutlon and those of some other states.
No Senator appeared to pay the slightest
attention to his silly remark and ought
not to have done So But | ycuturcd to
remark to him in spirit of Kindness hat
the statements of his informant were false
and vlndlctIve, and that he would be con-
vinced of this fact if he wou'd only read
report which | handed him. made to the
Board of Directors. ! also added that an
INTELLIGENT and vIRTUOUS constituency
would not endorse his course
For this thought he Won Il have been
thankful. But was mistaken He either
did not have INTELLIGENCE enough to un-
derstand, or HONESTY enough TO acknowl-
edge the errors into which h. had been en-
trapped. But on the next DAY he rose to
personal explanation" and repeated the
same untruthful statements and added
personal criticisms Of myself But this WAS
not all. Not satisfied with his unenviable
efforts for notoriety, he mo- ed to reduce
the appropriation for the support, includ-
ing food, clothing, washing, cooking fuel,
warming the buildings, medicines, i'm
provements, repairs, salaries, wages, &c,
to the sum of 1885 per capita for this In
stltution-but did not make the slightest
objection to the proposed appropriation in
the same bill of $500 per capita for the
Asylum at Morganton-a sum however
not at all too large for that Institution
He not only opposed the patriotic efforts to
enlarge the accommodations here so as to
take from the jails, poor houses and pri-
vate families, the insane Of his own coun-
ty and district, but he tried to place, upon
scanty support the patients here Of all
Eastern North Carolina. while he did not
object at all to a liberal support of those
in the Western Asylum at Morganton.
For this, however, he deserves credit for
JUSTICE to others and censure for TREASON
to his own. Is such a man qualified by
head or heart to represent an Intelligent
and virtuous community? Let the people
answer
An examination of the report handed
him containing the official statements Of
nearly all the Asylums in the nitcd States
would have shown him at our annual PER
CAPITA expenses are far below the general
average.

A RARE BIT OF SARCASM
OccasiOneA ~ the LibeTality of the Leg.
tslature in Giving Away Convict Labor.


Capt. Jos. c. Mills, of Burke, was
deeply interested in the bill making liberal
and just appropriations to the insane
asylums OF the State. He voted for close
economy until it came to the maintenance
Of the insane and then he favored liberal
appropriations. He made earnest appeals
to the House to give what the committee
asked, but i'll vain. Finally on Friday,
we believe, when the bill was up to appro-
pirate so convicts to work on the roads in
Johnston county, he arose and sad
Mr.. SPEAKER: "It strikes me, too if
may be allowed to use the forcible ex-
preston that has been so fire lucntiy made
use Of IN this House, that | cannot see
how the House can consistently fc.use to
pass this bill. 1t will be perfectly con-
sistent: Mr.. Speaker, for me to vote
against it, as l intend to do, but when it
is remembered how liberal we have been
in voting these peculiar KIND of appropri-
atiOns, | am unable to see how the House
can consistently refuse to pass this bill.
Besides, sir, this is the particular time
when We can afford to be liberal. 1t
ought to be remembered that this day,
Mr. Speaker, We have saved for the State
Of North Carolina no less than twenty
thousand dollars. 1t is true, sir, that
this sum has been saved at the expense Of
the unfortunate insane, and it may be
that number of them will have to
linger a while longer confined as felons
and chained down like wild beasts in their
cages, and it is certain at least that they
will be deprived of many comforts and
convenences that they ought to have.
But that only shows, Mr.. Speaker, what q
wise, economical and astute body we have
here Who cares for these poor devils?
They have no vote. They cannot help
candidate for Congress, or even to return
q member to his seat in the Legs lature,
and how could it be expected that their
part would be taken at the expen-.- Of the
'.dewn- trodden, horny handed sons Of
toll and taxation"
The rebuke was plain. Everybody
saw it, but the convicts were voted aud
the appropriation for the asyluIos were
not Increased.

TIME LOTTERY Ball.

Today the time for acting on the
Lottery Bill will have passed at
midnight. The fact that the Gov
ernor has kept the bill so long rem
ders it almost certain that it will be
vetoed. The idea that he will al
low it to become law by default 10
all nonsense.
He is q man of plenty of back
bone and for the last ten days has
been gathering all the legal infor-
nation possible, on the constitu-
tionality of the act. He has lis
tened patiently to everyone who
has had anything to offer on the
subject and wants to be certain
that he is right before he acts. In
case the bill is vetoed, which IL
quite probable, it will come before
the. next Legislature just as II
would have come before the last
one. had it been vetoed before
the expiration of the session. This
would be its natural course any how
az the act would not take effect be
fore the Constitutional Amend
ment is twice voted on.
The amendment will come before
the people at the general election
and then before the Legislature
1t will require a majority to pass
the amendment, and two-thirdi
majority to pass the Lottery bill
If the thirds vote fails, another
bill can be drawn and passed by
majority vote.
